Musically Yours - Implementation of Music Playlist using Machine Learning and Music Therapy

Abstract

In the late 20th century, the disciplines of music therapy and relevant technology have evolved, creating a new trend in the industry of science. Because of this, combining the therapy with the technology is still considered novel. Recently, as patients are able to gain access to a wide range of complementary therapies, also as computers have reached a stage where real-time audio-visual interaction is possible, projects that address therapeutic issues with multiple media technology have started to emerge. Music is known to have positive effects on human beings, where it enhances learning and aids the healing process. This paper presents how one can manage their stress levels by using music therapy. Mental stress is caused due to various reasons, which spreads across different age groups as well. To overcome the efforts spent on searching music relatable to their mindset, we decided to come up with an application which custom designs a music playlist for the people. It will be focused on one’s present emotion and made sure that he/she feels after listening to the music recommended by our application.
